Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen stream, to a 2-L reactor provided with a stirrer, thermometer, condenser and gas inlet tube, 107.3 g (0.8 mol) of trimethylolpropane and 249 g (1.2 mol) of n-nonyl bromide and 11.4 g of tetrabutyl ammonium bromide were put, to which 360 g of 50 mass/volume % aqueous sodium hydroxide was added and heated at 70 to 80 degrees C. for four hours with stirring. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled and left still overnight to deposit white crystal. A liquid layer is transferred to a separating funnel by decantation. An alkali layer of an under layer was removed by separation. An organic layer was washed with 400 mL of saturated saline and 50 mL of a dilute aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. After the organic layer was further washed with distilled water until becoming neutral, 190 g of the obtained organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate.
